Hello friends, I hope you are enjoying the start of your Easter Weekend. Color explosion! It makes me happy. It’s Spring Break season and a time to take a little time off to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We spent some family time in Las Vegas this week. My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday in Vegas […]

First, thank you for all the get well wishes from the last post. My eyes are doing much better. It just a matter of time before my cornea heals completely. My nephew Jonah turned 2 weeks old yesterday. He makes a lot of facial expressions already and I try to capture it each time I […]

Since we had rain all weekend long, I welcomed the time spent indoors. Besides going to the gym in the morning, I didn’t leave the house or changed from my lounge wear for a whole day. Instead of watching movies all day long, which I love to do on lazy days, I baked and cooked […]

Sometimes I make it really strong and it’s spicy, sometimes a little light and with more honey. I’ve also been craving comfort food. Chocolate gives me comfort. I have been adding chocolate shavings on top of […]

Weeknight dinners has to be quick and easy. Because my commute from work gets me home around 7pm, my dinner is either pre-made and portioned on prep Sundays…or some nights, I get to cook a quick and easy dinner. I have been craving Mexican food lately so I wanted to make Mexican Pizza or Enchiladas. […]

We are 7 days from Halloween and we still haven’t decided on our costumes. Me personally, I own three costumes and will start recycling them this year. We have a high employee turnover at my work that I figured, if I wear a costume I’ve worn 3 years ago, nobody is around to remember […]

POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It’s pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates. The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf. This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and […]
